This document contains instructions for a tutorial on concrete technology for civil engineering students. It is divided into two parts. The first part lists 10 discussion topics on tests of concrete materials, including determining setting time and soundness of cement, tests of aggregates, workability, strength, and fresh concrete. The second part assigns students into groups to prepare presentations on various concrete-related topics, including non-destructive testing, fracture mechanics, high-strength concrete, fiber-reinforced concrete, and cracking of concrete. Students are to present on their assigned topics.

1. Describe the test for determine initial & final setting time of cement with dimensional sketches. Give IS requirements for setting time of OPC. 2. Enlist the different laboratory test of cement. Explain anyone of them in detail. 3. What is the effect of fineness of cement on concrete? How can you determine in laboratory using sieve method? 4. What is soundness of cement? Explain the testing procedure to determine the soundness of cement with neat sketch. 5. State various types of cements & state the testing of cements as per IS & describe Std. consistency of cement in detail. 6. Enlist the different tests of aggregates. Explain anyone of them in detail. 7. Define specific gravity of aggregate. Also explain test to determine specific gravity and water absorption of aggregate. 8. Define workability of concrete. Which are the different methods of measuring it in a laboratory explain any one of them. 9. Enlist the tests to measure strength of hardened concrete. Explain any one in detail. 10. Enlist the different tests of fresh concrete. Explain anyone of them in detail.
